hardware acceleration is really something new, only the latest highend phones have it...
As far as i know no nokia phones support hardware acceleration, but many of them has hotspot support , n70 6630 etc are quite fast becouse they have fast processor, so even software rasterization is good. Today phones with graphic chips are really expensive , when the bigest vendors will start produce them (like nokia) they will became a standard, anyway still a standard today are medium phones in the market like for example sony ericsoon k500 etc, so do not bother those very expensive, not many people have it...
